Yes, root *is* limited by login.conf. Excerpt from the login.conf(5) man page: A special record "default" in the system user class capability database /etc/login.conf is used automatically for any non-root user without a valid login class in /etc/master.passwd. A user with a uid of 0 without a valid login class will use the record "root" if it exists, or "default" if not. -- Noone else has a .sig like this one.
